I am a little bit lost on the vBond/vSmart/vManage IP addresses and interface...

[SIMMN]

Say I need to spin up vBond/vSmart/vManage instances in my DC (vSphere) environment. For each instance, I have configured VPN0 and VPN512 respectively.

Generally speaking, VPN512 is for "OOB" Management purpose, like HTTPS GUI and SSH, right? From what I can remember, VPN512 is not mandatory and management activities can be executed over VPN0 as well.

For vBond/vSmart, when I add it to vManage, the GUI asks for vBond/vSmart Management IP address, screenshot below. But will this be the VPN0 or the VPN512 IP addresses OR eve the system-ip configured on vBond/vSmart?

For vSmart, VPN0 would be configured as tunnel-interface but will the SD-WAN fabric work if netconf is the only service allowed on vSmart VPN0?

Thanks!

Is mandatory to have VPN512 interface for management on all 3 controllers, so that IP goes in that redbox

Just I am clear, the vSmart/vBond VPN512 interface IP address is used to add the vSmart/vBond to vManage?

Still waiting for clarification.

Hi m1xed0s, 

This video series is helpful.

There is two of my photo's uploaded also so i use 199.1.1.0/24 to next VPN=0 Vmanage(199.1.1.1) ,Vsmart (199.1.1.2) , Vbond (199.1.1.3)

VPN 512 is going to be your eth0 back to your management mine was 192.168.1.0/24 and had default route to my router.

PS the red circle in you picture is misleading this is your VPN 0 address you set for example i put 199.1.1.3 in there. 

anymore questions just ask hope this helps.
